BICEMEMARV 

COMMITTEE 

1701 1901 



Origin of the Womans' Bi-Centenary Committee 

Two-Hundredth Anniversary of the Founding of Detroit. 
July 24th, 25th and 26th. 

When His Honor .Mayor Maybury issued a tall to the women of Detroit to meet at the Rii.>- I 
House un Salurday mormiiK, Jmu- S;h, Kjoi. .it eleven o'clock, to take steps towards forminK an \u\ 
ihary to the Cotmcil and Citizens' Committees, lo forward the work of the Bi-Centcnary cclcbra;; i 
about fifly women responded As a result the orRani/ation known as the Woman's BiCcnt.n , 
Lommiltcc was organi/ed, .Mrs. Bertram C. Whitney was iiiiaiiimonsly chosen I'residint Sub Com 
inittces were appointed, and immediately proceeded to work. Meetings were held once, and soinciimes 
twice a week, until the celebration. 

The Woman's Bi-Ccnlenary Committee will remain an organized body until all plans for the 
memorial have been carried out. They assure all interested that the dedication of the public monu- 
ment to .Mauniiie Cadillac will be an imposing event, to which all woimn and citizens of Detroit may 
look forward with pride. Subscriptions may be sent to any mciiibir of this committee, or orders foV 
the Historical .Xrt .Souvenir. Sincere thanks are returned to all who liavo rendered assistance, their 
names appear in the LIST OF P.ATRONS .AND DONORS on subsequent p.->ge8. 

J*" editor takes the responsibility of remarking that the liberal patronage extended to the Souvenir 
by the public, business, professional and citizens generally, has amply proved the wisdom of the unani- 
mous vote of the Woman's Hi-Centcnary Comniillee, directing its issue. Thereby a considerably 
increased fund has been secured for the monument, and at the same time a valuable service rendered, 
in return, to the donors. Pre-eminently in a business way, for elegantly bound copies will be sent to 
the rulers of the leading civilized nations and cloth-bound Souvenirs to the Boards of Trade of the 
laif, si cities in the Lnited Slates. And the subscribers are permanently recorded, in a large and wide 
:on, as not behind worthy neighljors in public-spirited enterprise and liberality. Also all have 
fully combined to turnish a creditable reminder of the worthiness of Detroit that will attractively 
and greatly advertise the city. 

The brilliant record of enterprise, efforts and beauties is a permanent monument of credit to the living 
ladies who added siich uneqiialcd eclat to Detroit's Bi-Centenarv. .And it has ofun been remarked, by 
visitors as well as citizens, that of the hundreds of thousands of dollars spent before and during the 
three days celebration, the Woman's Committee have secured, in the Madame Cadillac monument, a 
generous as well as prominent memorial, and the only substantial permanence except a stone chair and 
two or three small tablets. 

How far the authorized prediction that the Woman's Souvenir would be the most beautiful and 
attractive book Detroit has ever had, and among the most creditably useful, has proved correct, its own 
pages will show ]

MADAME MARIE THERESE GUYON CADILLAC 

THe First Woman of Detroit 

BY MARY CATHERINE CROAVLEY 


>l» 








WRITTEN FOR THE HISTORICAL ART SOUVENIR 







*2^ "^E September morning of the jear 1701, the sun shone upon 
lH "* picturesque group of women gathered on the Esplanade of 
mSA Quebec, where the passengers of the King's frigates and other 
sliips from afar were wont to land, or whence they departec 
for distant shores. 
vy The centre of attraction among the little company, that 

^*' represented the best society of the town, was Madame Cadil- 
lac, wife of the gallant officer of the Carignan regiment and 
knight of St. Louis, Antoine de la Mothe Cadillac. Graceful, 
charming, and in the perfection of her youthful beauty, she 
was about to set forth upon a journey of three hundred 
leagues, to join her husband at the new military post of 
Le Detroit, which he had established six months before in the 
wilds of the south. Beside h^r, and habited likewise in sad- 
colored gown and camlet cloak, stood Madame de Tonty, the wife 
of Cadillac's captain, and near-by a few peasant-soldiers' wives, in 
short kirtles, gay bodices and Normandy bonnets, were taking leave 
of kinfolk and acquaintance. Under the trees that lined the promenade 
three or four children played, glad of a last romp before the enforced 
inactivity they were soon to know during the long voyage. At the 
water's edge lay several canoes wherein a band of stalwart French 
Canadians and the Indian rowers had already taken their places. 

The party embarked, but the friends of Madame Cadillac still 
sought to delay the parting. 

"Turn back, Therese," pleaded one, "this arduous journey might 
be braved if you were going to a pleasant country, where you would 
have the comforts of life and good company; but in the wilderness 
you will die of ennui." 

"At least wait until the spring," urged another. "Alas, poor 
Therese I" 



But Madame Cadillac, from the stern of the foremost canoe, 
waved her hand and cried, with a bright, glad smile: 

"Do not waste your pity upon me, dear friends. I am eager to go; 
for a woman who loves her husband as she should has no stronger 
attraction than his company, wherever he may be. Everything else 
is by comparison a matter of indifference to her." 

These noble words are the keynote to the character of the 
woman to whose virtues now, two hundred years later, the women of 
Detroit pay the tribute of a memorial. 

HARDSHIPS OF THE JOURNEY. 

The valiant women with their escort of male relatives, voyaged 
up the St. Lawrence to Three Rivers, to Montreal, and thence to 
Fort Frontenac (Kingston). So many had been the delays that now 
winter overtook them. To proceed farther over the frozen lake and 
the trackless snow fields would be to perish. Here then they spent 
the inclement season, and at the breaking up ' the ice pursued their 
way up Lake Ontario, across the portage; of iho Niagara and onward, 
to Lake Erie. 

It was an appalling distance that thty traversed amid the awful 
silence of the wilderness, the hardships and peril of sleeping out 
under the stars or rain, in open canoes drawn up on the bank of the 
river or in the depths of the forest. Yet these heroic travellers 
remained undaunted. 

Meanwhile at Le Detroit, rude preparations were made to receive 
them, and often, no doubt, during the pleasant days of May, the 
daring founder of this isolated colony at the Gateway of the North- 
west — wandered down the bank of the river beyond the fortifications, 
gazing afar upon the blue waters for a sign of the batteaux that were

and to the strand hastened the commandant, soldiers. 

ireurs de bois and Indians, the French shouting a 

welcome to the little flotilla in familiar accents, the savages crying 

out a greeting in an unknown tongue 

At last the boats reached the land and, presently, Madame Ca<lillac 
stepped from her canoe, the first white woman to set foot upon the 
fhore OI the Detroit river, the woman who founded the first civilized 
home in a wilderness that has now become the great "City of the 
Straits. 

It is said that upon her arrival the Indians pressed forward to kiss 
tier Mantis, saying: 

Now we know the French mean to be friends with us, since white 
"•'iiiMi li.ivr ,-omc to live in our country." 

A GiiNUINE ROMANCE. 

What had been the life of this gracious lady before that September 
'v when, with her intrepid party, she had set out for Le Detroit.' 

In the spring of the year 1687, the handsome and dashing Gascon 

..Idler ot lortune. Antoine de la Molhc Cadillac, visited Quebec 

• -.M thither by the report of the beauty and goodness of Mane 

I . >c (jiiyon, niece of his partner in various sea-faring expeditions 

tois Ciuyon. 

This redoubtable privateer apcars in the light of French history 
s the bold s.iilor who performed prodigies of valor in the service of 
Mng Louis the I-ourtecnth— and took his pay in the spoils of British 
lips and i>panish galleons. 

La Mothc at the time, besides his lieutenancy in the famous 

irignan regiment, held commissions both military and iiiarine ir..ii, 

the King, and was a seignucr of Acadia and Lord of Donaqucc, having 

recently received a grant of a large tract of land on the coast 01 

Mninc, together with the island of Mont Desert. 

< A^'v.^^'^ ''"''' *^°"''' '° Mademoiselle Guyon. 'the prettiest girl 
ot Uuebec, and that his wooing sped was evident to the spectators 
01 the little love drama, for the rose* bloomed in the cheeks of the 



fair rherese if he but turi.ed his eyes in her direction. His suit 
was successful, and on the 25th of June, 1687. Marie Therese Guyon 
at the age 01 sixteen, became the wife of La Mothe Cadillac de 
Lauiiay. 

Their marriage register may still be seen in the archives of the 
cathedral at Quebec, and the wedding festivities were of the grandest 
of the period. 

A few days later the happy bride sailed away with her husband 
to his estates at P<irt Royal. 

But the King had need of Cadillac, and the following year he 
was summoned to pilot the fleet of the Sieur de la Cafinii-re to the 
— ? 1°' i.^*i^ yoTk. This expedition against the English having 
jailed, the French .idniiral went back to France, taking Cadillac with 
him. 

Left at home 111 .\cadia with an infant daughter. Midame Cadillac, 
although not yet eighteen years of age. showed both good sense and 
judgment in the care of her husband's property, and sent to him all 
the money she could realize from it; for in those days the adventurers 
01 the new world had much land and little coin. 

But while La Mothc waited at the court of Versailles seeking to 
lurther his fortunes, the bucannccr. Sir William Phipps, pillaged, 
burned and laid waste the settlement of Port Royal. Houseless, and 
possessing but a lew gold pieces. Madame Cadillac escaped with her 
child to the forests near the shore, and after a few weeks was taken 
on board a I-rench brig bound for Montreal. The brig was. however, 
captured by a corsair, and the hai>icss lady was held a prisoner until 
ransomed by her brothers. 

Soon after she reached Quebec, the town was besieged bv Sir 
William Phipps. In common with her friends and neighbors Madame 
Cadillac suffered from the dangers and trials of the siege; but she 
had in addition grave cause for anxiety. On the King's ship "Embus- 
cade." now due. her husband was returning to New France, and it 
was feared that the frigate would be cantured bv the enemy. 

Quebec withstood the assault of the linglish. however, the 
doughty Bostonais admiral withdrew his fleet, passinj the Embus- 
cade in a fog. near the mouth of the St. Lawrence, and 

THE MARRIED LOVERS 
were presently reunited. 

Then followed i.i Ma lame Cadillac three tranquil years in the 
old town, during which her Imsband gained the favor and friend...hii. 
of the great Comtc Fronten.i In reward for his many services to 
the government and bis organi. ition of a patrol of boats for the St 



Lawrence, he was created a Knight of St. Louis, and granted an allow- 
ance from t!:e treasury of the colonies. 

The parish records of Quebec show that in April, 1692. a son 
was born to the Sieur and Madame Cadillac. In 1693, the gallant 
chevalier, at the command of the King, again went to France, leaving 
his family at Quebec; and in 1696 he was made commandant 
at Michilimackinac. His wile would fain have accompanied him to 
that dreary post, but Cadillac would not permit her to go, because of 
the severity of the climate and the wretchedness of the coarse fare of 
fish and Indian corn. Finding that by taking up her residence at 
Montreal she could better serve the interests of the husband whom 
she so dearly loved, the gentle Therese was content. During his stay 
at the fort of the Upper Lakes she shipped to him at every opportunity 
goods and stores, proving by her excellent management that she was 
endowed with a share of the business ability of her father. Denys 
Guyon, and her brothers, the prosperous merchants of Quebec. 

The four years that followed she spent at her girlhood's home, 
for when Cadillac returned from .Michilimackinac. it was only to 
depart again to the Court of Franc?, whence he came back in 1701. 
having obtained the boon he craved, permission to establish the post 
at the entrance to the Upper Lakes. 

And this brings us back to the joyous day in May. 1702, when 
Madame Cadillac was installed at Detroit, as 

LADY OF THE MANOR. 

This first manor was a stake house, the second built after the con- 
llagration which in 1703 destroyed the best part of the town, was 
perhaps of squared logs. But. although his mansion was little better 
ihan the cabins of his followers, Cadillac affected a pomp befitting the 
seigneur. To uphold his personal dignity was to uphold the dignitv 
of law and order. Here in the wilderness he might say as arrogantly 
as the Great Louis upon his throne. "I am the State." 

It may be presumed that, as soon as might be, he had shipped 
to him from Montreal, a carved chair or two of French manufacture, 
and odd pieces of silver plate, trifles which yet would magnify the 
importance of the Lord of the Strait and define the difference between 
him and his vassals. Whenever he appeared before the soldiers or 
colonists, he wore his uniform of the Carignan regiment, or his court 
dress, and a sword clanged at his side. No doubt Madame Cadillac 
as punctilliously went attired in her silken gowns long after the 
fashion of them had passed. 

While in public she was the great lady, in domestic life she must 
have endured many privations, and had much to do in the care of her 



household, even though she had left two little daughters at school 
with the Ursuline nuns at Quebec. 

With Madame de Tonty she assisted the saintly Cures Fathers 
Del Halle and Deniau in their work of religion and charity, both 
within the stockade and among the surrounding villages of the 
aborigines. She tried to teach the Indian women to sew, and was 
wont to present to them garments that she made for them of the 
cloth brought by the fur traders to the Strait. 

As for recreations of the ladies, there was the pious joyousness 
of preparation for the feasts of the church, the tranquil gavety of 
family fetes, a pleasant intercourse with one another, and for Madame 
Cadillac the role of queen of the festivities of the little town. 

Madame Cadillac's life at Detroit extended over a period of only 
ten years, yet her influence in that first little community reach-s down 
to to-day. It was she who moulded the manners of early Detroit, 
i-oftened the harshness of its military discipline, prevented the colony 
froiri deteriorating utterly into the roughness of a backwoods' settle- 
ment, and engrafted upon this new civilization some of the gracious 
social customs of the fine old town of Quebec. 

After the Sieur de Cadillac was appointed Royal Governor of 
Louisiana, she accompanied him thither (in 1712), and when, his 
goverinnent basing proved fruitful in naught but vexations, he was 
called to Paris, she went with him. When he was unjustly imprisoned, 
she untiringly strove to obtain his release, and in his loss of favor 
with the ministry of the new King, Louis the Fifteenth, and his ban- 
ishment to Castei Sarrasin. she consoled his disappointment. 

Tempestuous and passionate as he was, and prone to chafe at any 
restraint other than his own will, she held his love and commanded 
his respect always, and loved him in return. She survived him many 
years, living in retirement in the grim old castle on the Garonne, 
where he had spent his last days. 

Madame Cadillac was a beautiful character, a woman strong in 
mind and heart; resourceful, brave, patient, self-sacrificing: a model 
wife, the devoted mother of thirteen children, six of whom were born 
in Detroit. An eminently womanly woman, to Cadillac's fierce temper 
she opposed a winning gentleness. 

In acknowledgment of her noble qualities, of her influence for 
good in the infant community at Fort Ponchartrain, and the impress 
her virtues have left upon cur social life, the women of the Bi-Cen- 
tenary Committee erect the memorial described in this little volume, 
that throughout the years to come ,as in the past, the City's daughteis 
may find a fair and gracious example in the life of this 

FIRST WOMAN OF DETROIT.

Mrs. Bertram Cecil WWtncy, who was unanimously chosen as PresiHenl of the Women's Auxiliary to the Detroit Bi-Centenary Committee, is 
llic ilaiightcr of the late Col. Sylvester Larnctl. of this cily, and grand-dauKhicr of Charles I-"dward Lester, lalt American Consul General to Italy 
ller grandfather, Gen. Charles l.arned, came to Michigan with Lewis Cass, and later was made Attorney General of this state. He was present at 
Hull's surrender, an>l formed the famous Kentucky rCKinient tlia( was massacred at the halllc of the River Raisin. 

Detroit claims Mrs. Whitney as one of her own-daufihters hy hirth-riRlil. and it is but fittinR that she should have been chosen to preside over 
the Women's Auxiliary, which she did in a most graceful manner, and to the grealest satisfaction of all its members. To her earnest efforts is due the 
Rtcat success of the work of this organization in the recent Bi-Cenlenary cclcliratidn. 

Aside from being a great social favorite, Mrs. Whitney is closely idrniified with many cliariiics and societies. A member of the Colonial Dames 
Society, she is also an officer in the Daughters of the American Revolution, and the V S. li.iughtcrs of 1812. Mrs. Whitney has been for four years 
the National President of Conferences of Tlic King's Daughters, and is a nuniber of St. Paul's Episcopal Church. 

With great executive ability, a superior lact in managing parliamcniary discussions and expediting business, a charming personality, and a 
I less energy and enthusiasm, she is a worthy leader. The women of Detroit, inspired by her example, added to the Bi-Centenary celebration a 
uracc and attraction that will always be delightfully remembered. 6 




Miss Isaiiel Weir, CorrespDiidiiif; Secretary. Member of Keceplion, Invaanon and Memorial Committees. 

Miss Isabel Catherine Weir, daughter of Mrs. Catherine and the late Judge Weir, was unanimously chosen b^' the ladies to represent Madame 
Cadillac. A great social favorite in Detroit, a tall, stately brunette, with a gracious, dignified manner, she was especially fitted for the task, bhe is 
directly descended from John Casse. dit St. Aubin i -ho was born in Bordeaux, France, parish of St. Aubin), one of the seigneurs to land with 
Cadillac on our shores. Prominent in charities and societies. Miss Weir is vice-president of the Woman's Exchange and is identified with the 
Children's Free Hospital. St. Mary's Home for Young Women, and the N. S. Daughters of 1812. With her well trained soprano voice, she is a 
promising artist, as pronounced by all who have heard her sing, and has taken a leading part in many concerts. , , , . 

The Editor desires to add to the above sketch (furnished before the Bi-Centenary Celebration) the verdict rendered through the three days 
by hundreds of thousands of gratified people. It was unanimous that Madame Cadillac furnished, in every respect, a perfect peer of the superb 
heroine of 1701. Every citizen rejoiced that remarkable ability, ample tact and charming courtesy were combined with a beauty and loveliness that 
displayed an exquisite character. Detroit is proud of her gifted daughter and the admirable manner in which she honored the occasion and the city as 
well as the noble woman impersonated by her. "

and graceful paper on "The Social Life of Early 
Detroit." She represents the women of Detroit 
on the Historical Committee of the Bi-Centenary, 
and on the committee appointed to edit the Me-

MISS MARY CATHERINE CROWLEY, Author of "A Daughter J New France" 

Miss Mary Catherine Crowley has been actively engaged in literary work for about ten 
years, having contributed to various magazines and syndicates, sometimes under her own 
name, sometimes under a pseudonym. She has published several successful books besides 
I he stirring and captivating romance. "A Daughter of New France." 

A native of Boston, Miss Crowley had the good fortune to be born of scholarly stock; 
her father is an alumnus of Harvard College, her mother a graduate of the noted Convent of 
Manhattanville. New York, later the daughter's Alma Mater. With so favorable home and 
school influences, a large circle of cultured and book-loving relatives, a host of family friends, 
and, in due time, a broad and varied social life, her literary gift made rapid and symmetrical 
development. 

Miss Crowley has visited the principal cities of the Old World, and has travelled exten- 
sively abroad, as well as in tlie Lhiiied States and Canada. During the past eight years she 
has lived in Detroit. She is familiar with Montreal and Quebec. Thus, from her acquaint- 
iiice belonging to the old French-Canadian families, and from the pages of old memoirs and 
iiistories, she gathered ihe material for her forceful novel, which was written to commemorate 
i:he founding of Detroit. 

Miss Crowley was for some years a member of the New England Woman's Press 
Association of Boston, and the Woman's Press Club of New York. She is also connected 
with various literary and art societies. 

Press Notices of Miss Crowley's Book, "A Daughter of New France" 

This strong and vivid romance opens up a new field of .American fictions and is pro- 
nounced by the eminent critic, Richard fL Stoddard, to be one of the best written of recent 
historical novels. Quebec in the time of Count Frontenac is the scene of the opening chapters, 
but the greater part of the brilliant story deals with the early days of the French settlement 
of Detroit. It sketches the society of the city of Champlain at the end of the seventeenth 
and the beginning of the eighteenth centuries, and pictures the dashing Gascon chevalier. 
La Mothe Cadillac, who laid the foundations of our .Vmerican city of Detroit. About him 
are grouped his company of sturdy voyageurs, courcurs de bois, and sons of proud seigneurs, 
with the women who loved them and shared their fortunes. 

"The devotion of the wife of Sieur Cadillac is beautifully portrayed." — Si. Louis Globe- 
Democrat. 

"The heroine. Mademoiselle Barbe, later the Lady of Chateauguaj', a girl of English 
ancestry, was brought from New England to Quebec when an infant, a captive of Indian 
allies of the French, and bartered for a draught of brandy to the parents of Normand C.uyon, 
who tells the tale. This young chateleine of Chateauguay is like a sunbeam in the wondland 
shadows of the book's scene. She belongs to the race of poetic ladies led by Rosilind, does 
this fair 'Daughter of New France.' "—New York Mail and E.vprcss. 

"There are many dramatic episodes scattered through these interesting pages." — 
Detroit Free Press. 

More than a hundred other extracts lium prominent journals of all parts of the country 
commending "A Daughter of New France," might be added. 




...Madame Marie Thercse Guyon Cadillac... 

THE FIRST WOMAN OF DETROIT 
AND THE ENTIRE NORTHWEST. 

Two cviutiries ago a lall, dark, handsome lady Ixravely iravcrscd "vcr 1,000 

iilcs liy birch hark canoe and her own slender feet, to reach a new, strange country 

nd ihc husband she adored— the first white woman to set foot on Detroit shores: 
md the only one for over a year. This Catholic heroine was really an angrl "f 
hiaiily and blessinR, and from her industrious home on Jefferson Street, hciwceii 

■ riswold and Shelby, spread influences of incalcuable value to the new colony, as 

ill as to siicccedinR Rcneralions. 

It is tittinu that she should be honored by a public monument, thi- first one 

i a woman, which the women of Detroit, inviting also the aid of all women and 

icir friends, will secure. 

The amount originally planned will be largely surpassed, through the '-ntii 

rising co-operation of individuals and business houses in a public-spirited liberality 
10 the Souvenir, as well as in earlier direct donations. Sincere thanks are returned 
to all who have assisted. Their names appear under the heading, "Patrons and 
I )onors," on subsequent pages.

THE FLORAL PARADE.

MRS. F. F. INGRAM. 

CHAIRMAN OF THE FLORAL COMMITTEE. 



order of beauty, llie parades were the Floral, the Electrical and the 



Mentioned 
Industrial. 

On Friday afternoon. July 26. fairy-l.iiid .seemed to h.ive taUcn possession of the central 
streets of Detroit. It was woman's day. when her faultless taste and kindly and patient industry 
presented marvelous visions of symnietry and lieauty. The flor.il carnages, so deftly anil 
charmingly trimmed, were a delight to all. The work of preparation was fairly itnmcnse; 
lach one of several of the carriages recitiiring no less than 8.000 (lowers. The carriages of 
.Madame Cadillac and the Floral Queen were much more elahorate. over i6,<X)0 flowers having 
lieen used on each, besides the adornments of their attendants*. F.ven the harnesses of rpiite 
a number were wound with from 40 to 50 yards of satin or other ribbon, and had gay rosettes 
and bows attached, in addition. Many of the ladies (the vehicles not being earlier available) 
worked all night the two i)receding nights. But the ladies furnished a genuine delight to 
hundreds of thousands of people. 

The Floral Parade was formed in two divisions, headed by the carriages of Madame 
Cadillac and the Floral Queen. The order in line will be largely followed in presenting these 
half-tone illustrations. These give only a meager idea of the beauty, variety and life of the 
parade. It was the most charming display that Detroit has ever seen and one of the handsomest 
llnral iiagcants in the history of the country. The llowers that "laugh to the summer's day" 
are fit com])anions for the lovely ones who bring to our lives brightness, good cheer and 
uplifting iusiiiration. .\nd the women of Detroit are justly renowned as unsurpassed. 

Washington Park was thronged with people to see the last of the parade and the battle 
i>i llowers. .\ brilliant kaleidoscope of movement and color appeared as flowers and confetti 
\\erc lavishly thrown by the occupants of the carriages and their surrounding friends. Amid 
tiie applause and cheers of thousands of spectators. Madame Cadillac. Madame de Tonty and 
ihc Floral Queen entered the Cadillac Hotel and held a reception. 

It is a matter of apologetic regret that some of the carriages do not appear here. The 
lliree phnlngraphers for the Comiuiltee were at Cass Park before one o'clock, but were liin- 
derctl in their o|icrations by others, and all the carriages could not be secured. 

The descriptions of the carriages and the occupants were compiled by the editor, mostly 
and copious accoimts in the daily press; without consultation with the occupants. They record the general public verdict on the 



from the ghnvin, 
beautiful affair. 

The three miles of streets through which the Floral Parade passed were lined w-ith dense and enthusiastic crowds of admiring spectators. The 
part taken by the ladies, in doing honor to Cadillac and Madame Cadillac, was the gem of three days' celebration : without rivalship except that of 
the electric floats. It will linger long in the memories of all as an enthusing and inspiring record of Detroit's resources in taste and beauty. And to 
the noble president of the Woman's Bi-Centenary Committee and her able and charming co-operators was rendered a grateful tribute for their 
superb work, and what it typifies. The ladies covered themselves with glory by the magnificent display. The fields of flowers and sunny banks of 
blossoms: roses from the hedges and marguerites from tlie hillsides, and purple fiowerlcts from gardens and fields were wreathed in glorious masses. 
They gave brilliant evidence of the charm that makes Detroit homes so potent to elevate the standard of our being. Woman furnishes the charm, and 
to her all give the homage due to beauty, steadfast loyalty and unceasing endeavor for the bettennent of humanity. These delightful animated flower 
gardens seemed like a vision of fairyland. it

MRS. BERTRAM C. WHITNEY 

A leading attraction evoked great applause as, in her own stanhope, rode the President of the Woman's Bi-Centenary Committee. In a gown of yellow, embroidered 
in poppies, with a large La Tosca hat of black and yellow, her whiplash crooked and caught with a big bunch of poppies and tied with floating ribbon ends to repretent 
a l,a Tosca stick, she captured the admiration of all. The body and wheels of her carriage were completely covered with yellow California poppies, as also the specially 
designed harness. The horse, a magnificent and spirited bay. was capitally controlled by the admirable horsemanship of the driver. An accident prevented Mr. Whitney's 
driving a tandem. Unquestionably the public's sweetest memories of the three days' celebration will center on what the ladies did. The able generalship which succesifully 
managed their discussions and marshalled a united force for every duty, performed a service unsurpassed by any of the hundreds of citizens who aided. Mrs. Whitney 
declined to allow her carriage to be coosidered in competition for prize.

The Electric Floats Photographically Preserved. 

Before presenting the remainder of the lialf-lonc illnstrations of the 
bcaitliful carriages in the floral parade, it may be well to insert the only 
compeer in beauty and brilliancy, the electrical floats. 

.'Vnlicipation liad been very high, but the rcsnil far CNCccded all expec- 
tation. Its e<|nal ha> never been approached in Delruil, or ever seen any- 
where. The brdliant coloring and magnificent electrical effects; the rich 
costumes of the occupants of the floats, historically correct in every detail; 
ihe ingenious and efTeclive arrangement of the lighting, which turned night 
uito day all along the Ime of the parade, and the superb seltmgs for the 
\arious scenes, all cotubined t<i furnish an astonishment ami delight that 
can ne\<r be forgotten. The more than a cpiarler of niillinn of per>ple who 
hneil the .siMeen miles of -.ireets through which the irolKy car floats 
p.issed. would staiiil for an iiislanl speechless and then break iuli> inighly 
-hunts of ap|ilause. as the true magniticence of the display <lawiied iiikiii 
iheni These splendid object lessons in teaching history, clear in conceii 
(ion. accurate in delail. faithful in execution, and easy of cotnprelicn>i<>n, 
fiiriii-'lu'd an ■iriginal and ctTective. as well as a coinpUte and literally 
liiininoiis digest nf Detroit's career. Nine ihousaml elcclric lights were 
used on ihe floats, and 170 peiiple look part. The conductors and motornien 
were rolled in red doniinos. Twenty-five men worked on the conslrnclion 
of the floats for three inoulli>. The cost of the costumes alone was over 
?i.^.ooo. •• fJilll 

Our photographers secured over 100 views of the best attractions during 
ihe three days' celebration. In regard to the Kleclrical Floats, we were 
extremely fortunate. Thanks 10 ihe coiirlesv to the Business .Manager 
extended by Toomev & \'otlaiid. of St. I.oiiis. the builders of the floats, the 
ligures were assembled earlier in position 011 the floats, in the open air 
We ihereby secured excelleni pictures, many of them with the figures .\ 
slight ilelay (not (be fault of Tcimiuy &• X'olland) in transportation of the 
participants from the barn to ilu- floats led our photographers to deem it 
best to secure las the light was waning al the close nf a cloudy .iflernoon) 
superior pictures witli<Hil risk nf imperfection. They, llierefcire. look three 
of ihi- floats, where the ligures were least im|>ortanl. withoiii waiting any 
longer. Ours were the only photographers who secured any pictures of ihe 
electric floats. Fifty cents to a dollar has been freely offered for pliolo- 
graphs of every one of the electric floats; but they are copyrighted and not 
on sale that way. The value of this success is somewhat shown in the fact 
that it cost Toomev & V'olland over $150, to secure, in another city, photo- 
graphs of fewer floats. On the following day they assembled the people 
.'iiid had their costumers prepare the figures on floats which were drawn by 
I earns. 3J 




THE FIRST PLANTING OF THE CROSS ON BELLE ISLE. 

The time when this was done is somewhat traditional. It is suposcd to have been between 161;^ and 1615. when Father Caron and his two attendant priests came 
down the lakes from Quebec, broke the stone god Manitoii nf the idol-worshipping Algonquin Indians and substituted the emblem of Christ. The priests did not slop here, 
but went on their way after explaining its meaning to the wild tribes of the red men. 

At the background of the float rises a great rock, surmounted by a rough hewed wooden cross. From this was suspended the coat of arms of the French royal house. 
In front of the rock, near a foreground of foliage, French soldiers stand, dressed in the gorgeous uniforms of the old monarchy. At the back of the cross is another soldier, 
who sometimes holds the folds of the French banner over the sacred emblem.

GEN. WAYNE'S ARMY IN POSSESSION OF DETROIT. 



In 1796 Gen. Anthony Wayne, sometimes called "M ad Anthony, " at the head of liis continental soldiers, entered Detroit, winch was the last city to surrender to the 
American forces. When they took possession of the city there began the era of almost unbroken and undisturbed peace wliich has since existed. It should be remembered 
that the town of Detroit then consisted of only a few hundred inhabitants, in a truly primitive settlement, with the beautiful river on one side, and on the other vast forests 
extending for thousands of miles into the interior. It is true that clearings had been made and settlements started, but they were only specks in a seemingly interminable 
stretch oT unbroken woods.

GEN. CASS BREAKING HIS SWORD. DATE, 1812. 

When Detroit for the second time passed ignominously into the hands of the IJritish, through l[i.i]rs cowardly surrender, the gaUant Gen. Cass broke his sword over 
a rock rather than surrender it. This was done under the shadow of the block house, which had witnessed so many deeds of lieroism. This impassioned act wa^ a vivid 
exemplification of tlie exasperation felt by all the Americans of the then little City of the Straits. The town had been under three dilTercnt dags, since it started on the ground 
of Indians, with no flag, and had changed its flag five times. Cowardice met with no favor in their estimation. And the descendants of the glorious general have never been 
backward in maintainng the supremacy of Old Glory.

ALLEGORICAL. THE SPIRIT OF NAVIGATION AND COMMERCE. 



Old Neptune will ride in his sea shell drawn by a pair of sea horses, while behind hini followed models of the first sailing vessel and the first steamboat that plied 
through the waters of the Detroit river. As the commerce of the Northwest passes, in a mighty procession every day, the busy City of the Straits, the scope of navigation is 
of great interest and importance. It has always been so, even from the sixteenth century canoes of the Indians down to and past the day when their astonished gaze law 
the first "Walk-In-The-Water" spouting forth smoke and steam. Navigation and Commerce and Detroit are fast friends.

How will the future City of the Straits appear, when, in another century the descendants of the present enterprising citizens arc celebrating the tri-centcnary? A 
magnificent archway spans the grand Detroit river. Beautiful figures represent .'\rt. Science. Commerce. Enterprise and Protection. Through the opening can be seen towering 
skyscrapers, huge grain elevators along the busy river docks, swiftly moving steamers and also river craft of all varieties, and an immense bridge connecting Detroit with 
the Canadian shore. It was. of course, impossible to show at the same time the superb attractions that make the City of the Straits a model. The splendid public buildings 
and business blocks, the wide, clean and well-kept streets, the lovely parks and drives, the fine churches, the generous charitable institutions, the unsurpassed electric 
railways, the model public, parochial and private schools, the energetic and able men and the cultured and charming women all combine to furnish a home as near the Dternal 
City as earth affords. 47

A BAND ELECTRIC FLOAT 

This unique and beautiful afTair was to have been occupied by anothtr Detroit band. They were to assist in dispensing ample music to the hundreds oi thousands 
of people who lined the sixteen miles of streets through which the electric parade passed. The members of the band may have tarried too long at supper, but for ^ume 
reason they failed to put in an appearance at the appointed time. Mr. Hulchins would not allow a second's delay for anybody or anything, and promptly on the dot of 
7:59 the parade started. The red-gowned conductor and motorman took nver »he entire route the magnificent float unoccupied. The band were not in it. Owing to the 
cyclone of rain and wind at the last of the evening, over JU.UOO people wei deprived of a sight of the floats. The illustration enables all to imigine the dazzling beauty 
when all those bulbs were brilliant electric lightc. *'^ 




This institution, in its beautiful, imposing, well equipped edifice, is a 
credit lo Detroit, and a strenRthcninR element to her citizenship. Tlie editor 
15 yr.rtilied in presenting in this souvenir to a Catholic heroine, Madame 
Cadillac, the specially secured picture of this attractive school building 
Krec'cd for the purpose of combining religious, with secular education. 
Us splendid corps uf teachers efficiently enforces the principles which Arch- 
liishop Ireland so eloquently enunciated: 

"The greatest sophism is the belief that our land is safe so long as we 
leach unr children lo read, write and figure. 

"What is needed lo give stability to our nation is development of the 
conscience. Conscience creates good men, and good men save the State. 
.\n<l right here 1 were a faithless servani of my Country if I did not w.-irii 
II ul the danger cloud rising above the hori/on. Religion is rapidly losing 
ground There are men especially who never breathe a ^jgh of prayer 
toward tleaNcn: many of them in public places where their influence and 
example are bad. Day by day science and philosophy are taking ihe place 
of religion: papers and magazines reflect these ideas, and it takes no close 
observer to sec that unbelief is eating at the core of the nation."

nine years he was chancellor of the diocese and secretary to the Bishop ;

paid a marked tribute to his worth in summoning him to the great respon-

One ol the most imposing as well as beautiful displays was the graceful design furnisficd by Breitmeyers. the florists A gondola made entirely of rt-nl water 
lilies, freshly picked that morning, seemed to l1oat in green tinted water. Lilies were floating also in the water. On each ot ihc four corners was a sea shell, tlie outside 
of lilies and the inside lined with pink. Sitting cosily in each of the sea shells was a pretty little girl dressed in white. The gondola was drawn by two large white 
swans, the ribbon reins held hv a beautiful girl in Venetian costume. Under the canopy sits the princess, robed in white. At the stern of the boat stood a Venetian 
dressed gondolier, holding a long oar, with which to steer. The float was drawn by four fine horses, each led by a groom, while a mounted outrider accompanied; all

Before the open portals of a Cirecian temple a beautiful garden spreads out, wfiich is filled with mnny varieties of flowering foliage plants. At each corner of the 
Boat bronze vases held up a wealth of nodding flowers. In front of the stairs leading up to the leniple i which stood on the conim.indinK eminence at the end of the 
garden), played a living fountain, in the basin of which water lilies bloomed. The temple entrance was made gorgeous, with its rouf covered with growing vines and 
morning glories. Between the pillars could be seen the goddesses, Ceres (Aliss Schroeter). and Flora (Miss Boettcher). impersonated by two twentieth century young 
ladies with classic features worthy the part, and dressed in the simple, clinging garments of the maidens of ancient Greece. Ceres (agriculture), with a wreath of golden 
wheat on her lovely brow, carried in her arms a hun-h of wheat and a golden sickle. Smiling Flora, goddess of the flowers, with a wreath of roses on her fair head, carried 
in her arms fresh cut flowers and a horn of plenty. I lie four large bay horses, abreast, had blankets „l white satin triniiiu-d willi garlands of roses.

Nothing in the entire Bi-Centcnary celebration was more pleasing or popular than the celebrated Carhartt's Ladies' Band. The magnificent equipage was artistically 
decorated in yellow, white and purple; yellow and red roses being used in profusion. But the crowning ornament was the delightful array of intelligent and charming 
faces of the skilled musicians. Equally beautiful and thrilling was the splendid music rendered by them. Its ctquisite delicacy had charms that mere men may hardly ever 
expect to equal; while in the patriotic and martial nothing could be more soul-stirring. The same ladies, as the Carharlt Drum Corps, were the most brilliant and talked-of 
feature of the Industrial Par.-.de. They are all employes of the celebrated Dtroiter who has made union-made clothing popular. No one failed to agree with the remark 
of Pere de Margerie, the representative o( France. ".May the pretty young ladies in white always meet with the same great success." The beautiful members were: Lucy 
Russel, Rosie Reinke, Mae St. Thomas, Laura Malo, Minnie Jones, Grace Demsky, Anna Beyer, Minnie Frahm, Margaret VVolcott, Mary Krahm, Hazel Bertram, Louise 
Schoenberg, Ida Berhardt, Gertie Reinke, Louise Stamm, Gustie Teschke, Tillie Reinke, Anna Reinke, Emma Pahl, Margaret Russel, Clara Zizka.

Large yellow poppies concealed the carriage from view. Mending from the lighter tints to orange and deep red. Smilax relieved tlic color scheme. Yellow roses 
peonies and hollyhocks, over ruching of green tulle, aided also in producing a highly artistic effect. The beautiful occupants were the supreme officers of Au.\iliary No

were also detked with the same flower, the whole making a vivid color picture. A very attractive reminder of the worthiness of the splendid order, it received generou: 
applause. , 35

Lilies of the valley, roses and violets were prodigally cnipToyed in beauliful combination. The top of the carriage was adorned with a splendid floral crown, 
artistically arranged in the French tri-color. The canopy-top carriage was thereby made a brilliant attraction. The blankets of the horses were liberally decorated with 
violets and a golden (luerde-lis. Besides Proprietor Flowerday, the bright and pretty occupants were Miss Mabel Flowerday, Miss Lilian Reichcrt and Miss Margaret

Well worthily won was the prize instantly given to the magniiicent display by the ladies of this mighty order. Just preceding the four Maccabcc queens, came 
an immense truck drawn by four black horses. Great arches of roses towered above the center of the float, on which had been erected an immense pile of deep red roses 
in the form of the beeb.ive of the order. Garlands decked the pillars, which were of white and red roses and festoons of the same color were hung from the corner? of tLe 
rtoat. The whole was done on a large scale, and was one of the most elaborate of the entire parade. "Several pretty girls, members of the order, rode in the fit at. Great 
applause was showered upon both the beautiful equipages.

An incubus of a $40,000 debt shows what the Sisters of Charity have 
dared to do for the right. The Annual Report, with a thrilling plain- 
tiveness. says: 

"A constant struggle to meet running expenses, enforcing a most 
grinding and penurious economy. Proper U»oil alone often a serious 
problem; medicine*; surgical dressings and appliances; constant re- 
newal of destroyed bed clothing; healinK; lighting: lUMirancc: repair*.; 
jj.WO yearly interest; labor, to keep everything scrupulously clean and 
a-eptic. are constant consumers of large amounts of money. Poverty 
Ml finance is the more m be deplored, as the rapid proKrcss of medicine 
;ind surgery results in constant changes in methods of treatment, and 
tnn-vtniicnlly the purchase of new apparatus. A hospital which docs not 
keep in the van of improvement can no longer properly perform its 
function of giving the best and most efficient treatment of disease." 

The Annual Report gives the meager list of large givers. Antoine 
Heaubien, the land for the hospital; Mrs. George Hammond, $.t.ix"1; 
itishop iJorgcss and \Vm. B. Moian. $l,ii)0 each; Mrs. Catherine Itaker. 
$SO0; Jeremiah Dwycr, $500; Motfat Kstatc, pW; donations, %A\S. Total. 
$10,218 in cash the past 15 years. This is $2T*t) per year, the running ex- 
penses of about one day of the 86G; one-tenth the present annual interest 
cost. Mrs. Eliya Watson gave alto tome vacant lots on West Fort street. 
still held by the hospital. 

St. Mary'3 is the earliest hospital in the Northwest. About 1SS2 the 
Sisters of Ste. Claire established it at the corner of Randolph and Lar- 
ned streets. During the chuUra years it was the only refuge for Strang 
ers and the homeless. Chicago had no hospital until ISSO. In 18« St. 
Mary's Hospital, in an old wooden building, with 3i> patients capacity, 
passed into the hands of the Sisters of Charity. < >n November 6th. 
1S50. they had a $10,ttX) building on the present site. On November. 
1879. the north wing anH center of the present building; and in 1892 a 
$50,IK)0 south wing and .unphithcater. 

The increased pood for humanity and the approval of the Master, 
which the heroic though restricted efTorts of these worthy Sisters o( 
Charity, could secure with fuller financial facilities, is a potent re- 
minder of a keen financial fact. No one can utilize as good a bank (or 
one of any value at all beyond the confines of time) as to deposit largely 
in the IJank of Heaven.

THE VICTORIA OF THE LADIES' AUXILIARY fOF THE ANCIENT ORDER OF HIBERNIANS. 

A beautiful design of white and green distinguished the adornment of this attractive cquipar . Crush roses of palest green, combined with white, solidly covered the 
body of the carriage, with a bordering, also, of green. The wheels were in solid green, with white 1 js. The driver wore a colonial costume of while and light green satin. 
The horses wore harnesses of pale green. The attractive and distinguished occupant of the handsome victoria was .Mrs. Katherinc Tcahen. of Detroit, the President of the 
State organization. As the parasol, appropriately trimmed in white and green, somewhat hindered tl.r photograplier in securing the best portrait of the popular lady, we 
present that in an additional vIl-w. The multitudes of friends of "'( 'Id lieland" were deeply stirred nt ihi^ appropriate embodiment of their devotion, and vociferously cheered 
the attractive equipage. Everybody agreed that it was worthy of the prize it rt^eived.

Detroit Protective Agency for Women and Children. 

When inisl'ortunc has come to a deserted wife or neglected child, 
they may become a helpless prey to the evil-minded. Ignorant of the 
law, inexperienced in self-defense, they know not how to use the law 
for protection. The agency does this for them; a work benevolent 
rather than charitable; preventive rather than reformatory. It se- 
cured the passage in 1897 of a law of penalty for cruelty to children. 
It employs an agent to secure the law's enforcement, and to watch 
over all needed cases. In the last five years more than 1,400 cases. 

The officers of the organization are : Mrs. Albert G. Boynton, 
President; Mrs. Sara Skinner. Vice-President; Mrs. Marguerite 
Heaubien. Corresponding Secretary ; Mrs. Geo. Carlisle, Recording 
Secretary; Mrs. Adolph Sloman. Treasurer; Miss .Mvira Proctor, 
.Xgcnt. Headquarters ofiice at 1105 Chamber of Commerce Building. 

Mrs. Beaubien is also chairman of finance, and has, with her 
ceaseless energy and industry, done more than all other influences 
to keep the needed work in active progress. Increased subscri|itioiis 
are needed to secure more enlarged usefulness.

My Dear Mrs. Whitney: - 

It is a great pleasure to me to receive your cordial invitation to the 
Anniversary of the Founding oT Detroit, and it is a great honor that a beauti- 
ful city invites one's presence within its borders, and for both I retu-n my 
heartfelt thanks. 

This invitation comes nearer my heart than it might that of many an- 
other. The early stories of war life, the little military lessons given me 
by my honored father, as I sat a child upon his knee, were all drawn from 
Detroit, He was a soldier of "Mad Anthony Wayne," spent -his young soldier days 
in the camps of Detroit, was present at the treaty of peace. He marched on 
foot from Central Massachusetts to Detroit to enter his army life and marched 
back the same when it was done, to enter the life of a citizen, which he filled 
all the better tor his experience in the hard days of the then city of the far 
west. You will kindly pardon my r eminiscenci es , your kindly invitation has 
called them up perforce Again thanking you and begging you to extend my thanks 
to the officers of the city for the honored invitation, I remaim. 

Yours sincerely,

PRESIDENT

TEMPERANCE UNION, 



My Dear Mrs. Whitney: 

The invitation to attend the two 
hundredth anniversary of the founding 
of Detroit is received. 

It would give me very great 
pleasure to be in the "City of the 
Straits" on the great occasion, but ray 
engagements will prevent. 

The City certainly enjoys a great 

distinction, and I hope everything good 

and desirable that has been planned for 

the celebration will be carried out 

to the highest pleasure and good of the 

people and to the satisfaction of the 

Commi ttee. 

Very truly yours,

IN HONOR OF CADILLAC. 

The Industrial Parade 

On Thursday July 25, 1901, 



Melcher's St;i ueul culiKac. 



Jul? 

I'A Hours In Pasf^lng One Point. 

No such crowd ever gathered before m 
Detroit They came from far and near to 
witness a great display in honor ol the great 
founder. Cadillac. And well were they re- 
warded for attendance. 

Every detail of the beautiful conception 
of the pageant appealed to the imagination. 
Allegory wove itself with reality. The 
evolving arts and industries from the ar- 
mored knight with his caparisoned steed and 
llie adventurous pioneer with tent and kettle 
led the way for achievements in steel and 
tillage of the earth A hundred ancient-cos- 
tumed soldiers were there to represent the 
days when war was progress, while the seem- 
ingly endless movements, picturing llie 
fruits of peace and industry, were woven in 
allegorical display by resplendent benevolent 
The Indians led; followed by French, Eug- 
Italians. Bohemians, Belgians, 



bodies and industrial floats, 
lish, Americans, Irisli, Scotch, Polish, 
Hollanders. Swedes, Norwegians, Swiss, Danes, Afro-Americans, and 
Germans, and young America from the schools All the Giand Army 
posts and principal veteran organizations; the Michigan National Guard 
and Naval Brigade; St. Andrews' Second Windsor Company; the Mac- 
cabees; Knights of St. John; Knights of Pythias; Oddfellows; Masons; 
Letter Carriers; Bohemian Turners; Italian societies; Polish societies; 
labor organizations; United Workmen; Foresters; the Catholic Mutual 
Benefit Association; Detroit Fire Department and oM- fashioned fire 
apparatus, and scores of handsome floats. Every shade of the life lived 
within the city's boundaries within the past 200 years hr.J part in the 
spectacle. Its cosmopolitan population found in the ranks a symbol of 
its every factor. The honors were with the French, who led. as Cadillac 
did, and the Indians, who alone needed no studied pretense of being their 
own ancestors. Europe gave up its hardiest men. while Africa and India 
joined in with the tableau. On following pages we present illustrations 
of some of the principal industrial floats.

BURNHAM, STOEPEL AND COMPANY'S INDUSTRIAL FLOAT. 

With rare taste and skill was designed and constructed an impressive object lesson of the days and ways of 1701. The rough log cabin, with its bark-thatched roof, 
had ample openings through which the homely interior could be readily seen. The old-fashioned fire-place, the rough table and shelves, the skin-clad inhabitant, the furs 
nailed to the exterior, all the paraphernalia were perfection in primitive simplicity. Indians trading furs were also represented. It was forest-enclosed Detroit indeed. On the 
sides, under the log hut, were vivid pictures of life in the woods and the savage Indians in their fantastic war dances. No feature of the Industrial Parade excited more 
iaterest or enthusiasm than this admirable exhibit, furnished by one of the most enterprising and extensive mercantile bouses in the entire Northwest.

THI MICHIGAN ALKALI COMPANY'S PLANT,. NO., 1 

Uelroit i> as proud as Wyandotte o( the magnificent enterprise which leads all concerns in its line. Capf. J. It. Ford, now in his 90th year, was the ioundci ol this 
cnnrprisc, which gives employment to nearly one thousand men. The location of the hrst factory was made where there were favorable saline beds. The growth of the business 
h»!< been astonishing. The two inimcnM plants, illustrations of which are presented herewith, are a distinguished credit to American enterprise. Their products are soda ash, 
caustic sod.T, bi-carb:.:'al.- of soda, and Wyandotte Portland Cement. The alkali products are the most important of all chemical bases, and enter into the manufacture of 
gla»«, soap, and papir. nhile the byproduct of cnrbon.ite of lime is utiliirrt in the manuf.irture of erinent. Capt. I'ord. in 1RS9. broke ground for his first factory and has 
since bun constantly adding buildings until he lias reached the present iniiiicii>e aggregation. Tlic oliicers of the company are: Kdward I'ord. President; J. U. l-ord, Jr., 
N'icel'residenl and Cencrul Man.iger; E. L. F..rd, Secretary and Treasurer. G. I'. MacNichol \\ also one of the board of directors. Kdward Hill's Son & Co., St and iW

THE MICHIGAN ALKALI COMPANY'S PLANT NO. 2. 

The Michigan Alkali Company not only pays good wages for labor and gives steady employment to nearly a thousand people, but looks carefully after ihcir welfare 
in many ways. At plant No. 2 it has erected one hundred cottages, which are rented to employees at reasonable rates; just above ^tual cost of repair, insurance, and low 
interest rate t-n ir.oney invested. The most remarkable results secured by the establishment of these works arc the great reduction of imports of soda ash. In 1893 the 
amount was 416,441.737 pounds. In 1899 it was only 34,000,000 pounds. An instance of the business courage of the Ford«; is found in their heavy outlay to secure the best 
possib.e product. Formerly the Le Blanc and the Solvay Process were the principal ones; not patented, but kept strcily scret. Mr. Ford spent half a million dollars in 
investigation and experiment to produce a superior article that would stand the severest test. He succeeded perfectly. The Michigan alkali has taken the American 6cid 
away from the English and Belgian manufacturers. Caustic -soda is also an iniporlani product of this company. So highly has the enterprise of the Fords been appreciated 
in Wyandotte that November 17lh is set apart by the council as an anniversary day and is called "Ford Day." The generous public spirit of these gentlemen has furni-^hcd 
a brilliant in^^tance of the way in which American pluck and energy lead the world.

DETROIT IN HER BI-CENTENARY CELEBRATION. 

What 200 Years Have Done for the City of the Straits. 

After two hundred unfailing cycles, the sun arose upon the spot it saw in the 
western wilderness one summer morning in 1701. But a mighty change had taken 
place. Where there had been nothing but forest, unbroken except for the trails 
uf the Indians, there is now a great city whose factories extend for miles along 
the same old river, the blue suriace of which is now, however, dotted with the 
moving leviathans of commerce, whose buildings and ^pires and homes stretch for 
miles back into what had been on that other morning ihe forest primeval. 

On July 24tb, 190L the roar of cannon r.wokc the city as the sun arose. Two 
centuries had glided by since the hardy gentleman of France, with his stout little 
band of followers, had beached his boats upon the shores of the old river, and 
proclaimed, in the name of Louis XIV., that the new land upon which he stood 
belonged to his country and his king. 

The centuries had brought growth and prosperity and exceeding beauty to 
the little settlement formed so long ago, and now, on this later day, the people of 
the land celebrated with pageant and rejoicing the passing of the years, 

Uncc more the brave Chevalier Antoine de la Mothe Cadillac descended the 
river with his band of soldiers and his voyageurs; grounded his canoc=, and 
stepped out, to be met and greeted by the red men of the forest. Again was the 
cross planted, and the lilies of France waved once more over the kneeling pioneers 
of civilization. 

We have a wholesome respect for the past and occasionally pause to call it 
back to life again and study its morals. 

We admire the bold spirits who explored a new land, daring the unknown 
waters and hostile savages, brushing aside the perils of land and sea, and striving 
to implant the ideals which they thought were best. This busy city stopped for 
three days to pay homage to the past, lavishing arts and money and a high enthu- 
siasm on its devotions. 

It is a matter of gratification to a people naturally pious that the founder of this 
city, while he wielded the sword bravely, recognized the cross as the true sign of 
the premancncy of his ideals. Through many vicissitudes this country has held 
fast to that vitalizing symbol which the Jesuit fathers first brought to America and 
around which clergymen of all denominations have rallied

THE CHAIR OF JUSTICE, CADILLAC SQUARE. 

DEDICATED WEDNESDAY, JULY 24, (SOI. 

The ponderous seat, symbolic of the opening of the first court of law, is made 
Of a beautiful rich brown stone, secured from Portage Entry, near Houghton, in 
the upper peninsula, this being the only stone found in Michigan which will lend 
itself to the intricate carving which adorns it. The chair is located otf the precise 
spot occupied by the cornerstone of the City Hall, which once stood there. It 
was shaped from a huge block, 7 feet high and 3 by 4 feet at the base. The design 
is of the style of Louis XIV.. and. instead of looking new, it has the appearance 
of being worn away by years of exposure, and the upholstery looks as if it had seen 
hard wear. 

The following inscription is engraved on the back, which will front the City 
Hall and give the impression of a monument: 

This chair, erected July 2'tth, 1901, is located on the site of the City Hall built 
in 1835, and occupied until 1871 as the seat of civic authority. 

"It is symbolic of the seigneurial rule of Antoine de la Mothc Cadillac, Knight 
of St. Louis, who with his company of colonists arrived at Detroit July 24th. 1701. 

"On that day, under the patronage of Louis XIV. and protected by the flag of 
France^ the City of Detroit, then called Fort Pontchartrain, was founded.*' 



Where Fort Pontchartrain Stood. 

A Historic Building on Historic Ground. 

The building on the southwest corner of Jefferson Avenue and Griswold Street 
facing on Jefferson Avenue, is one of the oldest business buildings in the city and' 
IS much the oldest stone structure in Detroit. It is built of shell limestone, and in 
ti-.e earlier years of its history a coat of oil brought out many fine and fancifully 
shaped petrifactions. 

It has been successively occupied by banks, federal courts and postofKe, ami of 
late years has been the property of an institution hardly less stable and useful than 
the greatest of its former occupants. It is now owned and occupied by the .\fich;- 
gan Mutual Life Insurance Company. It was erected in the flush times of 1S36 
by the Bank of Michigan, which had been organized eighteen years before, and 
was then m successful operation, its stock at one time commanding forty per cent 
premium. 

Six years after the erection of the building, and during the general financial 
crisis of 1S37, the Bank went into liquidation, and on December 12, 1^2, the prop- 
erty was sold at auction to the Vnitcd States. Early in the following year, the 
I'ostoffice was established in the basement of the building, and the Federal Courts 
in the upper portion; the former remaining for six years, and the latter for twelve 
years, or until 1S55. The building was sold on October 4. 1855, to the Michigan 
Insurance Bank, which occupied it until its reorganization in 1865 as a national 
hank, under the title of The National Insurance Bank. In ISfiS this bank was prac- 
tically merged into the First National Bank which continued to occupy the building 
until 1S9G. The present owners began to occupy the upper portion of the building 
in 1872, and purchased the property in 1892. Since 1896 they have occupied the entire 
property. 

The site of the building represents in concrete form the history of the city. In 
the rear, within a stone's throw, the first settlers landed, and here also year after 
year the Indians beached their canoes on the sandy shore. The structure stands 
on or near a portion of the site occupied by Cadillac and the original colony nearly 
two hundred years ago. The various enlargements of the original stockade actually 
included it within the limits of the fort. The moccasins of the savage, and the 
shoepacs of the early French, undoubtedly pressed every inch of the soil it occupies. 
As near as can be determined, it is located on the very spot where the gateway of 
the fort opened on May 7, 1763, to allow Pontiac and his warrior braves to enter, 
only to find from the preparations made that his plot had been discovered. Almost 
immediately in the rear of the building was the King's Garden, where was buried 
the body of Captain Dalyell, killed in the battle of Bloody Kun July 31, 1763. A 
little to the west of the building, and in the same block, was the Indian Council 
House. To this place during the Revolutionary War hundreds of captives were 
brought by the Indians, and also thousands of human scalps. 

For many years past the building has overlooked the financial centre of Detroit. 
,-ind it stands as a sentinel of the "Wall Street" of the City of the Straits. 
A tablet on the front of the building has the following inscription: 

"This Tablet designates the site of one of the gateways of Fort Detroit. The 
original stockade was known as Fort Pontchartrain and was erected when the city 
was founded in 1701. 

"Through the gateway here located Pontiac, the Ottawa chief, with a band of 
Indians, passed on May seventh, 1763, intending to surprise and massacre the 
garrison. 

"The exposure of his plot on the previous day caused the defeat of his plans 
and gave the English the supremacy in this region until the close of the RevoUi 
tionary War."

The Greatest of the Revolutionary Soldiers. 

Majur-Gcneral Anthony Wayne, an American oilicer oi the Revolutionary War, 
was born at Waynesborough, Pennsylvania, January 1st, 1745. At the age of thirteen 
he was with Washington at the attack of Fort Duqiiesne; and on the outbreak of the 
Kcvolulioii, he raised a regiment of volunteers, of which he was appointed colonel 
and sent to Canada, where he saved the army at Three Rivers. He commanded at 
l'"ort Tieonderoga, fought bravely at the battle of lirandywine, and shortly after- 
wards escaped from the ".Massacre of i'aoli," to take part in the battle of German- 
town, lie suffered with the army at Valley Forge, and bore the brunt of the battle 
at .Monmouth, lie planned and cJleetcd the capture of Stony i'oint, one of the 
niost brilliant achievements of the war. His courage and skill saved Lafayette in 
Virginia, and he aided in the siege of Vorktown and commanded in Georgia. On 
.\ugiist :;Oth, 1794, he achieved a brilliant victory over the lintish and the Indians 
at the battle of Fallen 'Timbers, retricied the disasters of Harmar and St. Clair, 
and opened the North West Territory to the settlement of the whites. By his dash 
,ind audacity he acquired the sobriquet of ".Mad Anthony." He entered Detroit 
.\i:!'ust lilh, 17%, and on December 14th, 179G, died at Rrcsque Isle inow ErieJ. 
ills military biography is said to be a "history of the battles of the Revolutionary 
\\ ar," while he himsell declared that he had braved difhculty and danger "in the 
defense of the rights and liberty of America from the frozen lakes of Canada lo the 
Ijuriiing sands of Florida." 

THE BI-CENTENARY'S OBJECT LESSONS IN HISTORY 

**The people of Detroit have learned more history 
in a week than in ten years of schooling.*' 

Hon. Jaiues B. Angeii, 

Pris. Uiiiveisity <ii Micliiifan. 

The celebration was commemorative of not only the founding of Detroit, but of 
a long series of interesting, stirring and tragic events in the early history of the 
nnrthwfst, and the history of llie French, KngHsh and Indian races. It was com- 
nKnioraiivc not only of the landing of Cadillac, but of the adventures of the pioneers 
ur the northwest of nearly a century before the chevalier; oi the decimation of a 
whole tribe of Huron Indii'ns by the Iroquois before the day of the white man; 
the planting of the cross of religion in a land formerly given up to the idol wor- 
shipping Algonquin Indians; the infamous surrender of Hull and the thrilling act 
of Gen. Cass in denunciation; the triumphant possession of Detroit by -Mad An- 
thony Wayne; the establishment of courts olf justice in a wild man s land; Pontiac"s 
siege of Detroit, and the batlle of Bloody Run; the fire of lSOr>, which nearly wiped 
out the entire city of Detroit; the famous meeting of Commodore Perry and Gen. 
Shelby and other exciting epochs in the civilization of an empire. 

All these historical Lvcnts were called to mind by features of a celebration which 
was conducted on an elaborate scale with pageants and ceremonials in which every 
etTort was made to have costumes and other details historically correct. 

The bicentennial celebration was a great and instructive object lesson, it his- 
tory can be made palatable in the shape of the romantic novel, how much more can 
it be made so when the personages of history, costumed accurately, are placed 
before the people, speak the words and go through the motions of the deeds for 
which they are fnniuus? Every person, with an inquiring mind, was greatly edified 
by the brilliant proceedings. H they were deaf to the reminiscences of the his- 
torians and the piping of the poets, they could not fail to be impressed by the 
bateaux, the cavalcade of Cadillac, the Indians and the brilliant allegorical floats.

HON. WILLIAM C. MAYBURY 

DETROIT'S POPULAR MaVOR. 

CHAIRMAN OF THE EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE OF THE 
BICENTENARY CELEBRATION. 



WILLIAM C. MAYBURY 

As Philanthropist, Statesman, Public Spirited Leader, Indefatigable Worker 

and Genial Friend, a Worthy Representative of 

Superb Detroit. 

The success of ihc three days' Bi-Centcnary celebration has given Detroit a well deserved 
i-c]Hitation for original, instructive and splendid achievements. All the features were well cal- 
culated to please and satisfy the many tlinusands who thronged the City of the Straits. 

The great public did not know of course of the vast amount of preliminary work neces- 
sary to secure such remarkable results, and many were not aware of the fact that the leading 
spirit whose able generalship brought around such excellent success was that of Mayor May- 
bury. For years in advance he had been planning for Detroit's Bi-Ccntcnary. and for months 
had been almost incessantly working in its behalf. His energy, skill, and perseverance were the 
prime factors that drew out the necessary co-operation required for ensuring the impressive 
i-eremor.ies of the three days. Our JMayo; proved himself invincible m. conquering difficulties 
that arose on every side. 

Mr. Maybury has been honored by his fellow citizens to a very high degree. From the time 
he was a young man, he has enjoyed every esteem and confidence. Elected City Attorney when 
hardly more than a stripling lawyer, his service was so satisfactory that he was sent to the 
lialls ol Congre.-is. 'I'here he served with distinction from 1SS2 to 1887. When he proposed to 
return to private life the people called him to the head of the Municipal Government. This is 
A i)osition of great honor in a handsome and prosperous city like Detroit. Mr. Maybury 's 
broadmindedness is one of his pre-eminent characteristics. He is always ready to lend his 
name .vnd potent influence to all good works, without regard to patronage or creed. His pre- 
eminent services in the Bi-Centenary were, at the time, summed up eloquently in the daily 
press. We ipiote one of the articles : a 

In celebration of the two liundrcdtli anniversary 01 tlie founding of Detroit Mayor Maybury did not pro- 
duce an exposition to rival the world's fair of Chicago. lie did not build a flaming column at the fool of 
Belle Isle. He did not make a river front park. He did not creel an arch. He did not do any one of a score 
of things he set out to do. Neverthelesss he did persist until, with the unselfish aid of a number of ladies 
and gentlemen, who worked devotedly without reward or hope of reward, he gave us a three days' enter- 
tainment that was in large part original, that was one of the greatest successes of its kind that has been 
seen anywhere, and which, in some of its features, was without a rival and is likely to be without one for 
some lime to come. 

The Journal congratulates the Mayor. He 'S net 50 lew as some thought he was. When it comes to 
sticking to it he is a prominent pebble on the beach, a decorated peach with a French accent. In a city 
where a leading characteristic is a tendency to remain in the background and criticise, rather than to come 
to the front with a whoop and unite to make a glorious success, the chevalier. mayor has done U5 proud 
All hats off. tlu-n. to William Cadillac .Maybury.

HON RUSSELL A ALGER 

GENERAL, GOVERNOR, BELOVED CITIZEN. 



GENERAL RUSSELL A. ALGER 

Statesman, Soldier, Philanthropist, 
Business Leader. 

IN ALL THE AFFAIRS OF LIFE THE GENIAL, HONORABLE. ENERGETIC, ABLE 
AND WISE FRIEND. 

Michigan's wrcaicst citizen is one of whom the entire nation is prcud. His invahi- 
ah.c services for ilu- counlr>' and for humanity have established a record of usefulness 
1I...1 can never be dimmed; a sensible, energetic, thorough, praclical man of action, 
who has wrought while others have talked. 

Fortunate i*^ the man whose neighbors and friends love and .rt-spcct him. They 
know him much better tlian the outside world can. Add to this the grateful appre- 
ciation of the noble-liearted in the whole nation, and a man is favored indeed. 

Gen. Alger is the most highly honored of any of the citizens of Detroit or Mich- 
igan, in having won this high position. He is a noble type of the self-made man. 
liorn in 1830, in Medine Count\ . (Miio, he early lost his father an<l was thrown on his 
own resources. Studying law, admitted to practice in the Supreme Court, his health 
failed r.nd he was obliged to give up the legal profession. In IStJO he engaged in the 
lumber business. In ISGl the call came for defenders of the flag. August 19th, IStil, 
he joined the Second Michigan Cavalry and was made Captain of Ct.mpany C. South 
and west he won fame, but most with the Army of The I'otomac. At the Battle of 
l!oone\ille, July, 1S6-, when Gen. Sheridan was handicapped, (itn. Alger took ninety 
picked men, and circuiting arouiul. routed the enemy, 7,000 slrf nc. He was wounded 
at Roonsboro, July 5th, 1S63, and mustered out in September, 1864. He rose in rank 
to Brevet Major General, and his whole war record was one of the highest honor. 

He won in a high degree the affection and confidence of his men and the approval 
of his superior officers. What his comrades thought of him was well demonstrated in 
an almost unanimous election, in 1889, as Commander-in-Chief of the Grand Army oi 
the Republic. Had the wish of his comrades been heeded, he would have been made 
I'resideiil of the United States. 

After the war he built up the immense enterprise now known as Alger, Smith & Co. 

A staunch Republican, he has been one of the most potent (actors in the pnrty and 
done much to advance the interests of the nation. As tiovernor of Michigan, he suc- 
lessfully managed the affairs of the State. As Secretary of War. he did much to 
counteract indilftrcncc and opposition on the part of red tape ofhcia's of the regular 
,'n my. They hnd been nurtured and coddled in positions of easy outine. and had 
nccotne imlnud with the belief that rourinc was an tndtspensabh condition. Gen. 
Alpcr had to i(|uip an immense army with gWit speed. Subordinates who look advan- 
tage of their positions allowed abu>e5 to creep in. greatly to the injury of the soldiers. 
The Secrctarv of War would not permit such wr»»ng. 

Gen. Alger's record has proved that he was right, and did right for his comrades 
in the armv then, as always before. It is a matter of pride to the men who fought in 
the sixties, elbow to elbow with Comrade Alger, of wlioni the writer was one. that he 
has proved himself far superior to the jealousies and opposition of those who hj* c 
tried to dciamc him. Easily Michigan's greatest man, he will never be regarded by 
the noble-minded other than with the highest respect and affection. 

Generous with his fellow citizens in charities and philanthropies, from the tiny 
street waifs through all grades of sufTering humanity, he will always possess the sym- 
pathy and gratitude of his fellow-citizens. And their admiration of his abilities and 
achievements will never grow less.

HON. JAMES McMillan 

senior: united states senator 

FROiyi MICHIGAN 

A Public Spirited Leader and Loyal, Generous ^Friend. 

Gifted by nature with a peculiar faculty for organizing and handling men, Iame:> 
McMilian, senior U. S. Senator from Michigan, has laid down one rule to which a 
great part of his success in business and in politics may be ascribed. He has aJways 
found ihat in helping others he helped himself, and the carrying out of this principle 
has led him to associate others with himself, and have them share his profits in business 
and his successes in the field of politics. 

IJorn of Scotch parents, just across the border, in 1S3S, Mr. McMillan cajnc to this 
ciiy when seventeen years of age. Thrift, enterprise and intelligence, inherited from 
his father, a sturdy elder of the Presbyterian Church, supplemented by a grammar 
school education, formed the basis for his subsequent eminently successful business 
tarecr. Young Mr. Mc.^iIllan, clerk, soon became purchasing agent for a railroad, 
then helped to push the D. ^: M. Road through to Grand Haven. Karly in the sixties 
he commenced the building oi large freight cars, and the industry is now the largest 
in Detroit. He later became interested in the D. & C. Navigation Co., the Detroit 
Dry Dock Co. and many other enterprises. 

On the death of Zachariah Chandler, Mr. McMillan was called to be the leader of 
the Kepublican party in Michigan, and has been maintained as such by the voters ol 
tlie parly because of his great ability. In IHH^ he was elected to the U. S. Senate, and 
left to his capable son the immediate interests of his numerous enterprises. In the 
upper House of Congress Senator McMillan's career has been a remarkable one. Ucing 
quick to see the profitable points of proposed plans, lie soon became a mighty power 
III the body. For six years he served successfully on that most arduous of committees, 
liie Caucus Committee, which settles party matters. When only two years in the 
Senate he was called to succeed General Ingalls as Chairman of the Committee on the 
District of Columbia. Mr. McMillan's earnest devotion to duty has done much for 
the national capital. He is now engaged in working out the details of a huge scheme 
ror the beautifying of the Capitol City. 

In ISGU the Senator married Miss Mary VVetmore, and a family which would be a 

■ 1 edit to any man has grown up about him, Tlte Senator has been a bountiful giver 
N.> charily, both in the way of gifts to public institutions and private aid to the needy. 

His national renown for superior statesmanship is a matter of pride to his fellow- 
itizens in Detroit and throughout Michigan. 

The City of the Straits has been greatly benefitted by the public-spirited activities 

with which the life of Senator McMillan has been crowded. His suggestions and actions 

tur the beterment of Detroit and the welfare of all citizens have been wise, vigorous, anu 

niely. His plans and achievements for the good of Michigan have been prudently 

■ arricd out with distinguished success. Nothing less could have given him the trcmen- 
lous influence he possesses and wields for the good of all. The prosperity of such 
lien is a public benefit, for they share their own good fortune with their fellow-citizens 
iiQund them. And they do it in such a pleasant, genial way as to win for themselves 
unfailing friends. Such a distinguished career is .a splendid example of what the 
stimulus and opportunities under our equal rights institutions enable an American to 
l>ccomc. ,\nd when his wealth is generously used for the good of all. he has worihiiy 
^von the respect and admiration with which he is so brilliantly honored.

RIGHT REV. JOHN S. FOLEY, D. D. 

Roman Catholic Bishop of the Diocese of Detroit- 

The Wise and Well Beloved Leader 

and Genial Citizen. 

Nu more i-ininent or lion<^rrd citizen ol Detroit has won his way to a great 
Icndership in affairs than the well beloved Bishop Foley. U«efu1nr««. influence 
and accompIi^ilC4l works ha\c made him .1 dii^tinguishcd pow* : ' not 

only locally but a\so far and wide outside oj De'roit. It i^ a ; > ure

regard of multitudes that have been uplifted by tns - . . 1 n addition, 

that hlestsing of religion and love reachc* beyond ■ "f earth. 

The ordinary felicitations daily extended 10 Ut r-ry thoroughl) 

indicate the respect and love he has won from the \" . both Calhohc 

and IVoteniant. It was reserved, however, for tl l his birthday 

:innivcrsary, on November 5th, 1901, when he becai>.> .. ..- of agr. for an 

"til hurst of aflcctiun and gratitude that wa« a remarkable demonstration. 
l:i>hop Foley is enthusiastically enshrined in many thousands of appreciaine 
hearts. 

He was born on Nov. 5. 1833, on St. Paul street. Baltimore. Md.. within 
sight of the great cathedral in which, on Nov. 4, 1888, he was consecrated 
bishop. He was educated at St. Mary's College, Baltimore, but made his 
seminarian ••tudies at the Roman College of the Apollinaire, at Rome. He was 
ordained llu-rc Nov. 20. 1S56. by Cardinal Patrizzi. vicar general of Pius IX. 
After studying still further in Rome he returned to Baltimore in 1N57, where 
lie was made pallor of St. Bridget's Church, Canton, Md. The following year 
he was stationed at lillicott City, where he remained ^ix years. He was then 
made assistant lo Mgr. McCulgan. at St. Peter's Cathedral, Baltimore. After 
live years he was made pastor of St. Martin's parish, where he built the present 
beautiful edifice. 

On Nov. 8, 1S88. the bishop came to Detroit; an occasion that will be 
remembered for many years. Detroiters of all creeds turned out to give him 
a royal welcome, of which the bishop always speaks with pleasure and grateful 
incmury. 

In now the thirteenth year of his stay in Detroit the Bishop finds over 
|ita>fVi4) souls in his keeping, with 30 large parishes and schools, and as cos- 
!:i 1> Iiian a population as can be found in ajiy diocese. During his service 
if h:is seen many new buildings arise and many improvements instituted in 
Lonncction with his churches. There are, in all. 196 churches and 'SI missions, 
with 133 secular and 4t regular priests in his charge. 

There are 70 parochial schools with 19.000 pupils in attendance. 5 orphan 

a-yluni-. with 4.000 children, the House of the Good Shepherd with 400 inmates, 

ihc Home for the .Aged Poor with 250, a home for feebleminded at Dearborn, 

foundlings' homes, colleges, academies, hospitals and many similar institutions. 

Ml re important and far-reaching arc his responsibilities than those resting 
on any one else in Detroit. 

May his health and strength remain ample for the manifold duties he is 
'successfully discharging as bishop, until there comes to him the inevitable 
promotion m rank for his faithful and able service in the Catholic Church.

HON. DEXTER MASON FERRY 

Detroit's Merchant Prince of Unsurpassed Success. 

A Self Made Man, 'Who Deserves All 

He Has Won. 

A C1T(ZEN WHO POSSESSES THE GENUINE RESPECT OF THE NATION AT LAPGE, 

AND THE GRATEFUL AFFECTION OF MANY THOUSANDS WHOM HE HAS 

UPLIFTED TOWARD BETTtR AND HAPPIER LIVES. 

^^ ^% *^* ^* t^^ 

The family of D. M. Ferry was of French origin, though ihc removal (n 
.\merica was from England. Mr. Ferry was horn August 8th, 1833, at Low 
villc, N. Y. His father died in 183'). and at the age of 16 years, he assumed his 
own independence; starting to work for a farmer at ten dollars a month. Work 
ing every summer and attending school in winter, he finished his studies in 
the higii school of Rochester, N. Y. In 1S52, he removed to Detroit, where 
he was errand boy, salesman, and at last book-keeper in a book-store. In ISoiJ 
lie organized the firm of Af. T. Gardner & Co., seedsmen. In 1879 business 
had so increased that it was incorporated, with a paid-up capital of $"50,niW. 
The growth of the business has been very rapid. The first year their sales were 
about $0,000. Since that time in a single year their sales have been more than 
;U,500,0U0; extending to foreign nations as well as throughout --\merica. Mr. 
l-erry is a large owner of Detroit real estate; is President of the First National 
r.ank; of the L'nion Trust Co.; Vice-President of the Wayne County Saviii«> 
r.ank, also President of the Standard Life and Accident Insurance Co.; The 
.American Harrow Co., and Vice-President and director in several other im 
port ant companies. He has done much to advance art in Detroit; pre-em- 
inently in contributions for the Detroit Museum of Art. Domestic in his tastes. 
he encourages many of the leading clubs and societies; being a sustaining 
member of several. In personal character kind, genial, unaffected, approach- 
able, unspoiled, his life is a lovely example that wealth need not corrode the 
lieart. He is not at all purse proud, oP arrogant or repulsive in manner, but 
treats with gentlemanly consideration even the most lowly and humble. His 
walk and conversation every day, in a genuine Golden Rule fidelity, typify the 
example of the Redeemer of Mankind, who went about doing good. If all the 
wealthy were like Mr. Ferry, there would be no conflict between labor and cap- 
iial, an<l no barriers to create seemingly divided interests. Ilis great wealth and 
his generous activities have made him influential. There is no citizen of Detioii 
more so. And his vast power and stimulus for good are hallowed by the sunshiiu 
of good will to all. In charities and philanthropies he is as large-hearted and 
etlicient :is in the actiuirement of wealth. He has assisted *Jlivet College and Harper 
and (".race Hospitals more than the world at large will ever know. In fact, so sue 
tessfully does he screen hi< daily deeds of love in all directions that one must 
■ ibiain access to the books in the Ijernal City to find anything like a general record. 
If ihv world had more of such practically Christian men, how much happier it 
Aould be.

HON. PAUL DOTY 



One of the City's Prominent Business Men. 



^* ^3% <^^f^* ^* 



Detroit has welcomed to lier midst an important factor in advancing general 
l)usiness atTairs. Nearly all citizens arc interested in the subject of light, and 
the great majority depend upon the use of gas light. Who arc the men wlio 
have charge of that important element in daily life? Their clTiciency and ability 
concern the ccjninumity because ignorance or negligence would affect the com- 
fort of many thousand.s of people. 

The manager of the magnificent Detroit Gas Co. is a quiet, thoughtful, 
and able business gentleman, Paul Doty. 

Mr. Doty was born and brought up at Hoboken, New Jersey. Educated at 
the public and private schools, from the High School, he entered Stevens' 
Institute of Technology, where he received the degree of Mechanical Engineer. 
His lirst business experience in ISSl was in the Morris & Essex Railroad super- 
intendent's office; ne.\t in The Schenectady I^ocomotivc Works; then with 
t nited Gas Improvement Co. at Philadelphia; then Jersey City Gas Co.; then 
to Patterson as assistant superintendent, where he remained seven years, until 
1895. He then became general manager of the gas company at Long Branch. 
N. J. This work required the greatest ability and discretion because of local 
difheultics. Mr. Doty achieved a marked success and was most cordially praised 
throughout the entire city. In December, 1SS7, he represented a distinguished 
capitalist. Emerson McMillan, in the organization of the gas companies at 
ISulTalo, N. Y. He was then still farther promoted to become, in 1S98, general 
manager of the Grand Rapids, Mich., Gas Light Co. In April, 1901, he was 
summoned to Detroit as general manager of The City Gas Co., and in May was 
elected secretary. 

.\side from great executive ability in the management of company affairs. 
.Mr. Doty has proved himself a profound student in the philosophy underlying 
the successful manufacture of gas and its biproducts. He has at different times 
furnished able papers on these subjects which have been largely quoted and 
liavc proved generally useful. Mr. Doty is a member of The Detroit Club, 
and is deputy governor of the Society of Mayflower D-scendants in Michigan. 
He is a member of several Gas Light Associations; of The American Society 
of Mechanical Engineers; of The Amcri»n Association for the Advancement 
of Science, and before coming to Dctroirwas a prominent director in several 
banks and business institutions. A communicant of the Episcopal Church, he 
carries golden rule principles into the daily life of the week. His maternal 
ancestors, the I..angevins, came to Quebec in 1C6S from the Province of Anjou. 
in I'rance. He has. therefore, good reasons for his warm interest in the 
I'rench settlements of Detroit and Canada. His family have always been prom- 
inent in ecclesiastical and civil afTairs in Canada. His residence at 106 Winder 
Street is a happy center of hospitality, and fortunate are they who are reckoned 
among the friends of the genial Mr. and Mrs. Doty. 

Mr. Doty is a brilliant example of the best qu-ility <^f -X-^'eric'.n htisiness 
men, and his innucncc in the City of the Straits will undonbiedly he powerful^ 
for good, aa it has always been where he has resided heretofore.

HENRY BLACKWELL. 

Of the New Firm, Pardridge & Blackwell. 

The Successful Manager of the Popular 
Dry Goods House of Pa-dridge <&. Walsh. 

The rapid rise in btismess of the house of Pardridge & Walsh 1; ;- 
l)ten a remarkable instance of the results of ability, energy, and partii'.i .1: 
regard to the interests of the public. The firm has been regardid li 
thousands of people as particularly attentive to the interests of their i- 
toniers, and their popularity on that account has been constantly imna^ 
ing. The public may not be fully aware that the active cause of the >;.lcii 
did success was their popular manager. The people only knew that 
everything was so well arranged, and that specially good values were 
given for money expended, and that the whole atmosphere of the store 
was genial, pleasant, and attractive. So the business of the firm grew un- 
til it became necessary for them to capture the largest store capacity in 
Detroit, the Majestic building. 

The recent announcement of a new firm, named Pardridge & Black- 
well, has introduced prominently to the public the ruling spirit of the 
Detroit prosperity, Henry Itlackwcll He is the one who has built up 
the magnificent business for the past three years at the store on Wood- 
ward Avenue, Corner of Congress Street. 

Mr. Blackwell is forty years old. Ills start in business was the pay- 
ment of £35, in Limerick, Ireland, a! an early age, for a five-years' appren- 
ticeship in the dry goods business. There were iiO wages, but a consider- 
able premium for the privilege of learning to work up in the business. He 
learned it, and with his natural ability, energy, and enterprise, he has 
wrought out, since his arrival in .America in 1892. a magnificent record 
of capacity and business success. The new firm in the new store will still 
further increase the popularity of their headquarters for supplies at low- 
est prices of nearly everything reijuired lor comfortable living in every 
family. 

Mr. Blackwell is an admirable instance of a thorough .\merican and a 
successful one, although the land of his birth was across the sea. As a 
citi/en, as well as a business man, he is highly honored and esteemed by 
many thousands of people.

.Missouri. Te.sas. and ilinuigh tiie Sunt invest. He was in newspaper work (or .\ 
i.hort time in W'aci*. Texas. He came tL- Detroit in ISM. 

His principal position of influence is with the Detroit United Railway. We 
(|UOIe from the daily press. '"Tite managenuiit Dt the great street railway system 
of Detroit and its suburban feeders. It will be candidly admitted, is a position m-i 
to be likened to a bed of roses in any large city. The fact has been especially em 
phasized in Detroit during the turbulent agitation over this branch of quasi-publii 
business for seven years. And yet "the man behind the gun" in this parficulai 
instance has weathered all the squalls and Jempestuous weather and throughout n 
all has never ceased wearing that same self-reliant and reassuring smile calculnteii 
to impress the most skeptical that in the end all would be right and cvorybod> 
happy. He has assimilated with the people and the business interests of this cil; 
and in his social and fraternal relations is distinctly a Detroiter. He comes daih 
in contact with many perplexing matters in his business connections, but his quid 
and affable manner of dealing with men and measures takes the bitter edge off a)" 
questions under dispute and has won for him high regard and esteem for fair an-l 
honest dealing. In short, he has the abiliiy, so rarely found in men of his pox 
tion, of protecting the interests of the important business with which he is intrustt: i 
witliout engendering ill-will or distrust from any source. Mr. Hutchins is a mem

Hon. Peter White 

The Veteran Pioneer and Histoiian. 







.Mr. White was formerly a resident of Detroit. As one thoroughly acquainted 
with the history of the Northwest, he was asked to read a paper on the "Uclation 
of Detroit to Michigan," It was prepared with great care and accuracy, and 
was one of the most valuable features of the three days, ,\t the time Cadillac 
landed in Detroit, there was no Northwest of civilized people. The territory 
west and south from Detroit was a vast wilderness, inhabited only by Indians. 
He traced the early history and influence of the I'Vench settlers in Detroit and 
Alicliigan. and showed how their faithful labors and patient endurance of trials 
built up n(it only heroic character in themselves, but a stable government founded 
on heroism. They were forced to daily protection of personal safety from prowling 
savages, and were obliged to exercise gallantry and vigilance. Mr. White related 
some of his own early experiences, which were intensely interesting. He had 
narrow escapes from drowning in travcling^n the upper peninsula. He spoke of 
his first visit to Detroit, in 1845, in search of employment, which he did not 
rt-adily find. 

He paid a most beautiful tribute to Detroit in language that wa. very eloquent 
and impressive. He had seen the city grow from nothing, and knew the exigencies 
under which it arose. He emp.iasized the fact that Marquette and La Salle had 
completed their life work before Cadillac came. It was remarkable foresight, when 
Cadillac selected the place for a great city, and the key to the waters of the Great 
Lakes. He praised the beauty of Detroit and the enterprise of its business houses. 

.Mr. White's admirable paper is worthy to be reproduced in full, for its historical 
value. This will be done by the Gentlemen's Bi-Ccntenary Committee, Mayor 
Maybury, Chairman. 

In. conclusion, Mr. White read an original poem, "Two Ilondrcd Years Ago," 
written for the occasion by Dr. Drummond.

farmer's boy. Starting in 1S74 as a clerk

ing Company, and director in the De- 
iroit Savings Bank. He is president '-"f

change. 

Mr. Delamater is one of Detroit's most 
public-spirited citizens. His inces- 

sant and indefatigable efforts, for 
months, for the Bi-Ceiitcnary, placed 
him ne.xt to Mayor Maybury in effective 
service therefor. He did the work of a 
dozen others. 



G. W. FOWLE 

Mr. l-"o\vie was born at Clyde. N. Y.. 
April 15th, 1850. He can trace his line- 
age back to i..e New Kngland Puritans.

Tiftieth .\ew York Infantry, and served 
in the engineers' corps of the Army of 
the Potomac. Company D. He came to

ful mercantile business till 1890. He has

getting organizations to participate se- 
cured a general rally of all nations and 
organizations. 



A Souvenir Building a Monument. 

WISDOM OP THE UNANIMOUS VOTE. 

Ihc Co-Operation of Business Interests More Successful in Results than 
Dependence on Previous Standards of Sentiment. 

When the ladies ni tlu- IJi-Centenary Committee assembled. Mrs. Marguerite 
Ucaiibien suggested some permanent reminder of their work, and proposed a tablet 
'ir a monument to Madame Cadillac. It was adopted by a unanimous vote an«l 
shi' was elected chairman of the MeTn.)riaI Committee. How should the funds be 
raised? Some spoke of having sentiment spring eagerly to supplying money. The 
wiser ones, having for years ohservt-d the scvered-head. Campus size of individual 
monument, by a grateful peopk-, Cdncludcd that perhaps local scnrimcnt alone 
might not be sufficient. Money, not simply talk, would be required. Having noticed 
that the grand triumplial Bi-Ccntenary Arches, and magnificent commemorative 
parks and buildings were being totally postponed, perhaps till the sweet bye and 
bye; and remarking that the man monument standard did not seem to be growing 
in size, they determined on more of a memorial for a heroic woman. Starting out 
with the regulation tablet size, they quietly planned a tlank movement on popular 
practical indifference, which bad repeatedly demonstrated a paucity of results in 
))urely sentimental efforts. To their movement they would link the financial power 
and profit of properly conducted business, and honorably enhance the aggregate of 
funds. They would also give something in return to the public-spirited supporters 
of a worthy movement, that, properly carried out. would be a first class credit to the 
city. Some whose lives were devoutly devoted largely to usctessness feared it 
might be undignified for women with noble aims and purposes in life to be so 
practically useful. Some of the gentlemen, who had book ideas of their own, 
np))osed tlie ladies' movement. That settled the matter. The women would have 
a Souvenir, anyway, and show whether the ladies of Detroit had ability and influence 
enough to secure success. 

The result is presented without many misgivings. The reasons why so much 
time has been taken, paucity of sufhcieikly able assistants, illness, absence-;. Stc. 
\-c.. need not be detailed here. The ensured financial results arc gratifying, and 
vindicate the wisdom of the unanimous vote that the Souvenir be issued. In addi- 
tion to financial profit, it would he a handsome permanent record of the assistance 
iif the ladies of Detroit, of the gentlemen, and of the business and the worthiness 
Tnd beauties and attractions of the city. 

The Biographical Section has, by the liberal enterprise and public spirit of the 
gentlemen, become a brilliant feature. At first the gentlemen were invited to go 
'way back and sit down, while the ladies occupied the front of the platform. When 
tlie gentlemen were invited forward they quickly showed the proud fact that the 
statesmen, and professional and business men and mechanics of Detroit are, as in 
everything else, the best in the world. Glory for Detroit and cash for the monu- 
ment, for the book can't help but sell. The ladies appreciate the liberal co-operation 
of the business interests of the City and State.

EDWIN S. GEORGE, Furrier, 



Mr. George is one of the most notablt: 
examples of what well directed effort. 
■ when coupled witti ambition, integrity 
and prodigious industry may accom- 
plish. Coming to Detroit in 1890 from 
his mother's farm, in Lenawee County, 
at the age of seventeen, he ranks to-day, 
at an age when the majority of young 
men are but fairly entering upon a 
commercial career, among the largest 
importers, exporters and manufacture! ^^ 
of furs in the United States. His large 
home plant, secured by the purchase of 
the long-established business of Walter 
Uuhl & Co., No. 146-148 Jefferson Ave- 
nue, is supplemented by the large raw 
fur warehouse at No. 46 Jefferson Ave.. 
of this city, and a similar establishment 
at No. 151 Mercer Street, New York, 
that is in direct touch with his buying 
agencies at Leipzig, Paris and London. 
In short, every branch of the fur busi- 
ness, from traper to wearer, is under 
his personal ownership and supervision.

Hotel Broker, Promoter and Builder 

Mr. Aubrey was burn March Gih, IblO. 
at Chatham, Ont., and was brought to 
Detroit in IbTT. After passing through 
■chool and college, he was book-keeper 
from 1887 to 1890 for H. S. Robinson & 
Co.. shoe manufacturers. From 1890 to 
2895 he was clerk and teller in a Detroit 
bank. For three years he was traveling 
salesman and adjuster. Since 1898. he 
lias been a highly successful man of 
business. A great deal of importance 
sometimes attaches to the transfer of a 
hotel. It requires a capable head to 
excel and to please the various interests 
concerned. Mr. Aubrey has uniformly 
done this, and has closed up many im- 
portant transactions. He is secretary 
and treasurer of the Stewards' Club of 
Detroit; also of the International Stew- 
ards' Association. He is one of the 
pushing, enterprising, liberal and hon 
orable business men of the ctt> IS't

been one so long, over 25 years, that 
his experience has made him one of the 
very best. To his unexcelled skill in 
the art arc added a promptness and care 
in execution, and the latest improved 
processes in high art work, that produce 
Ihe best results possible to be obtained. 
Ifis genial and pleasant personal cour

Mr. Morrison is a prominent officer in 
the l-^irsi Baptist Church and carries 
out practically, in daily life, the prin- 
ciples of the Golden Rule. 
The energy, skill and accomplishment 
in this bee hive of industry produce a 
magnitude of first-class results that are 
fairly astonishing. 

As public-spirited and substantial citi 
zens, the Messrs. Morrison arc worthy 
of the high esteem in which they arc 
held by the citizens of Detroit.
